A Note from the Foster: Meet Erik – The Ultimate Cuddle Buddy!
Erik is a lovable and affectionate Mini Australian Shepherd who will find your lap no matter where you sit! This sweet boy is a quick learner—he already knows how to sit for a treat and loves a good game of fetch. While he’s still working on potty training, he keeps his kennel dry through the night.
Don’t be fooled by his calm demeanor—Eric has a playful side! He loves wrestling with his bigger brother and running wild at the park. He gets along great with the resident dogs and is very food-motivated, making training a breeze. One of his most endearing qualities? He locks eyes with you when you talk to him, as if he truly understands every word.
Eric would make the perfect addition to any home, and we know he’d thrive with small children, becoming their best friend and loyal companion. If you’re looking for a loving, playful pup who will always be by your side, Eric is your guy!
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
